Considering everything on the market, Luminair wanted to offer their own take on low impact shelters. Their goal was to develop an efficient structure using sustainable materials. The result was a complementary tent that’s ready at any time of year whether it be for recreation, research, conservation, or education.

It’s lightweight, waterproof, made out of 100% cotton canvas, and offers a comfortable shelter. The spherical structure harmoniously blends aluminium and wood with inspiration from the early zeppelin engineering and lightweight aircraft design. 3m in diameter, it’s sizable enough to comfortably accommodate two adults. This expertly tailored minimal masterpiece will run you a comfy $13,000.
